by Sylvaine Delacourte
Vahina by Sylvaine Delacourte is a soft, creamy, and gently sweet vanilla fragrance with a prominent citrus opening of mandarin orange and orange blossom. The scent evolves into a powdery, honeyed vanilla with subtle tonka bean and osmanthus notes, creating a delicate, nostalgic aroma that evokes childhood memories of doll-like comfort, velvet textures, and soft citrus creamsicles. It feels natural, feminine, and effortlessly wearable—ideal for warm weather or casual daytime wear. Though it lacks complexity, the balance between sweetness and herbal green notes is smooth and pleasant. The fragrance performs best close to the skin, with a muted but pleasant sillage that lingers subtly on clothes and hair. Despite being broadly described as lightweight and fleeting, many appreciate its simplicity and charm, especially when worn in summer or as a daily signature.
